Lola was positively glowing in her creamy wedding dress while Yakubu sporting a bespoke grey suit, wore a disarming smile.
Though
not an opulent wedding, they exchanged marital vows, flaunted the
marriage certificate and the pictures that went viral online generate
mixed reactions. There are fears too, solemn fears: Lola's new hubby is
plagued with an ugly past - a credit card scam that kept him 'inside' in
a Kuwaiti cell.
According to an insider, this isn't the first
time the 'Nigerian big boy' has been on the wrong side of the law. His
claim to relevance and easy bait for unsuspecting women who wanted love
and affection, has been his American citizenship’s status and his
dashing looks.
When he was arrested in Kuwait for the credit card
scam, Yakubu, was able to answer the police questions adroitly, but the
authorities were not convinced of his claim that he was innocent.
A
ring of 'scammers' had some months before his arrival, operated in the
same manner and went away with their loot in the Middle East commercial
city. Unsuspectingly, Yakubu walked into a booby trap. While Wale
Yakubu Ajibola, the Nigerian-born American citizen served terms for one
year, the Big Sam turned the other cheek.
Lola, who is hell-bent
on getting a husband, was not too lucky last year when her hatched plot
to marry another Nigerian based in Europe was thwarted by her first
husband, Dare Ogunlana, who unleashed a media attack on her.
Meanwhile, Lola found a close ally in another actress, Bukky Wright,
also married to a US-based Nigerian, Wale Onitilo.
Lola and
Bukky seem to be best friends in real life because their chemistry comes
through effortlessly. Since her marriage to US-based lover and car
dealer, Dare Ogunlana, broke up, the Kogi-born actress has met a few men
but she has not been quite lucky to have one of them put a ring on it.
Bukky, we reliably gathered has been concerned and busy setting Lola up
on dates with non-famous friends and some buddies of her current hubby.
She wanted Lola to have her kind of relationship that will guarantee
American citizenship status.

When Yakubu walked in, it was a
willing and desperate Lola he met and, trust her, she quickly hung on
tight. Sources disclosed that while he was cooling his feet in the
Kuwaiti authorities' cell, Lola scampered for his release by consulting
marabouts widely.
They were constantly in touch on phone and
gradually they built the affection. On release some months ago, after
serving terms in Kuwait for one year, she sent him a ticket to come
home, made few appearances at functions that were private and they
bonded before he returned to the United States to prepare for the
August wedding.
While Lola has taken the highroad by walking
down the aisle with Yakubu, brimming with broad smiles that she has
found love and a good match, observers of Nollywood marriages and the
rate at which it dissolves, feel Lola may have finally found a big catch
to perfect her plans for an American citizenship status.

It
was revealed Yakubu has never been married but he has three kids,
including a set of twins from two women among his strings of ladies.
From his profile, though he claimed to be an ICT expert, he is not quite
buoyant financially and his recent incarceration in Kuwait has not
helped.
There is no record of an apartment in his name; the newly
married couple are guests in one of the hubby's relations' house in
Atlanta. Prior to his ill-fated venture in Kuwait, he is said to have
been living off his relations in California before life threw terrible
storms at him and he moved to Houston.
In his bid to survive, he
crossed to Atlanta where he allegedly joined the credit scam racket
popularly known as 'Track 1, Track 2'. For Lola, it has been a tortuous
and lonely journey with her 10-year- old daughter, Omowunmi from her
first marriage with Dare.
As she stepped out from the depths of
despair to happily ever after, it is not clear if Dare will not sue her
for bigamy as their marriage consummated in Nigeria has not been
officially dissolved. Lola and Yakubu are expected in Nigeria soon.READ MORE: http://news.naij.com/45581.html
